Meena Seshu has worked with VAMP, a collective of People in Prostitution and Sex Work in Sangli, India, and with SANGRAM, an organization that works to build the capacity of sex workers to assert and defend their rights.
Sex workers rights advocates have reason to celebrate this International Sex Workers Rights Day. Last week, an amendment that would have further stigmatized sex workers failed in the Indian Cabinet.
Next month, the Parliament of India will vote on an amendment that could further stigmatize and violate the human rights of sex workers by criminalizing the purchase of sexual services in India.
